Ratings and reviews

Not working well in pixel 9 pro. If you select a specific lens, it gets a system error when telephoto lens is selected. Other lenses struggle to keep focus in low light settings or for concerts. When in Auto lens mode, it works decently. Pixel 8 pro had some issues too, but it is worse in pixel 9. Please fix and make it more compatible to 9 pro.

The app itself is OK but no support for 60fps on Android phones. My main issue is that you need a Prime+ account for even basic functions like focus peaking or a grid. This is one of the apps required with a zhiyun gimbal, why are there two separate apps rather than just one app that works well? This app doesn't have tracking, so for that you have to use ZY Cami, but that doesn't have any manual settings on Android, so for manual control you have to use this app.

The app has lots of decent features BUT why camera grid is only available under a subscription? Why not offer packages as a one-time payment to enable basic features? Why do I have to pay regularly just to have a camera grid? Unfortunately, you pay for a premium gimbal but they don't let you use basic features without a subscription. I will edit this review of Zhiyun's to rethink its subscription strategy.
